Gordon (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 game against Pittsburgh and will remain on IR for the time being.
Gordon has been on injured reserve due to a calf issue since Oct. 25. He was designated to return Wednesday and logged an LP/LP/FP practice progression this week, but he's not yet ready to suit up for game action. The Bears have a short week with their next game set for Black Friday versus Philadelphia, which may have played a part in the decision to hold out Gordon for Sunday.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Returning in Week 12?
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
The Washington product upgraded from limited practice Thursday to a full go Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. However, he must be activated to the Bears' active roster in order to suit up in Week 12. If Gordon returns Sunday, he'll likely operate as one of Chicago's top slot defenders.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Gordon practiced for the first time Wednesday since being placed on Chicago's injured reserve list ahead of Week 8 at Baltimore, so it's not a big surprise he wasn't back up to full speed. Unless he can upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday, he'll probably end up carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Practice window opens
Rotowire
Gordon (groin/calf) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.
The Washington product has missed Chicago's last four games due to groin and calf injuries, but it now appears he's nearing a return. He now has 21 days to be added to the Bears' active roster before reverting to IR. Gordon has been an integral part of Chicago's secondary, recording 75 total tackles, five passes defensed and one forced fumble over 15 appearances in 2024. He's been limited to just two games this season, but once fully healthy, he's likely to reclaim his role as the team's top slot corner.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Participates in Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) was spotted on the field during the media-access portion of the Bears' practice session Tuesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Gordon missed the first four games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during training camp in mid-August. His ability to participate in Tuesday's unofficial practice is a positive sign for the 2022 second-rounder, and with the Bears on a bye for Week 5, he could make his 2025 debut in Week 6 against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 13.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
A mid-August hamstring injury has kept Gordon sidelined for the Bears' first three games of the regular season. He's unlikely to play against the Raiders on Sunday unless he can practice in at least a limited capacity Friday. Nick McCloud should continue to see additional snaps in the Bears' secondary for as long as Gordon is sidelined.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Gordon has missed the first two games of the season, and coach Ben Johnson said Monday that Gordon is considered week-to-week. With Jaylon Johnson (groin) expected to miss the entire season, Gordon's absence is huge for a Chicago secondary that has been picked apart by J.J. McCarthy and Jared Goff in back-to-back games to open the 2025 campaign.

Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Gordon is now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday after logging three consecutive DNPs during the Bears' week of practice due to a hamstring injury.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
A hamstring injury prevented Gordon from playing in the Bears' regular-season opener against the Vikings on Monday. He has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs, and a missed practice Friday would likely rule him out for Week 2 against the Lions on Sunday. Nick McCloud would be in line to see additional snaps out of the slot corner for a second consecutive week if Gordon is not cleared to play.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Now deemed questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Gordon (hamstring) was added to the Bears' injury report Sunday and is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.
Gordon dealt with a hamstring issue through much of August but wasn't initially on Chicago's injury report this week. That changed Sunday, however, as Gordon was added to the report and deemed questionable for the regular-season opener.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Signs three-year extension
Rotowire
Gordon and the Bears agreed on a three-year, $40 million contract extension with $31.25 million guaranteed Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The cornerback is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which he compiled 75 total tackles (48 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed, a forced fumble and three fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season games. Gordon will likely operate as the Bears' primary slot cornerback again in 2025, playing alongside Jaylon Johnson (quadriceps) and Tyrique Stevenson.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: Posts 75 stops in 2024
Rotowire
Gordon tallied four solo tackles in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Gordon posted between four and seven tackles in all but one game this season, and his 75 total tackles (48 solo) across 15 games in 2024 were four more than his previous career high. After picking off five passes in his first two seasons, the cornerback failed to secure any this season. Gordon will go into the last year of his rookie deal, and he should remain a low-ceiling IDP unless he can outperform his career norms.
